Oh dear... I couldn't help myself! Today, I present to you another Things Daily Connoisseurs Say. This time we travel to the ballet, the airport, the shops, and deep into nature to see what happens in the mind of a Daily Connoisseur.



I think we can all agree that Ben is a very good sport for putting up with me!


What do Daily Connoisseurs say to their family at the dinner table?


What do Daily Connoisseurs do when they get stressed?


And is it too much to ask for five minutes alone for some fine reading and a cup of tea? Apparently!

Featured in today's video, my friend Alena Kate Pettitt's new book, English Etiquette.

As Daily Connoisseurs, it's important to laugh at ourselves. I hope today's video gives you a good laugh :)

Anonymous writes, "Hi Jennifer--
I work as a nurse in a hospital that was built in the 1930's. Some of the patient rooms have small closets inside--probably about 8 inches deep. There is a hook on the wall, as well as a shelf above, probably for a hat or small handbag. Each time I see one of these closets I think of you and smile. In those days, people hung their suit/dress inside. They did not have a lot of belongings, unlike today when patients bring duffel bags or suitcases with them.
Your 10 item wardrobe is such an inspiration--as you are. Many thanks! "


Hi Anon, Thank you! Your insights are so interesting. Yes, we can look to the past to realize that the ten-item wardrobe is not a radical invention... it's what most people have done in history. Thank you for reminding us of that.

I hope you enjoyed Things Daily Connoisseurs Say Part Deux :) I would love to know... which line resonated the most with you?

I'll see you soon for The Chic Assignment Check-In!

Jennifer xx

Thank you to everyone who sent in requests for today's etiquette video. I received hundreds of comments and letters through the blog, YouTube, social media and my contact form on the author website. Clearly the topic of modern etiquette resonates with so many people. You would not believe the stories we read! I have enough material for an entire year :) Ben and I could not address each question, but answered a variety of conundrums in today's video.



How do you handle the houseguest who is perpetually on their smartphone? What do you do when your theatre experience is sabotaged by a fellow audience member? What's the etiquette for grooming oneself in public? What should you say to a pregnant lady? How do you handle dogs at the dinner table? Is the wave of courtesy extinct? Find out our answers to all of these questions plus much, much more.

It's that time of year again! Time for recitals, performances and special ceremonies for our children. In today's Teatime with Jennifer, I have another etiquette horror story for you and discuss a trend that I am noticing lately: narcissistic audience members.

We have all seen them: people who disrupt performances because they are not thinking of others. Blocking other people's views with their recording devices, texting and talking loudly... these are just some of the offenses! As our society becomes more and more narcissistic, it is important for us to discuss these sometimes touchy subjects and realize that our actions matter and do affect other people. I hope you join me for today's chat and chime in with your thoughts in the comment section below!

Hannah S writes: I just love your videos and mindset. As a 23 year old, I stumbled over your channel by accident but have really rethought my yoga pants and tee shirt wardrobe and have made a lot of changes...I am AMAZED at how much more confident I feel. When I get up and put on real clothes in the morning, I feel like I'm "showing up" for life and my family. 😊 thank you for helping so many!

Dear Hannah, I'm thrilled that you have found inspiration from my YouTube channel and am glad that the changes you are implementing in your life are affecting you in a positive way. Blessings to you!

Today I would love to know... do you have any stories to share regarding narcissistic audience members? Have you noticed this behavior has gotten worse in recent years? Do you have any audience etiquette tips you'd like to add? Let me know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.
